Three boys ages 8 and 9 were being held Monday in a detention center on charges of raping an 11-year-old girl in the woods near a suburban apartment complex in Acworth, Georgia, officials said.
The alleged attack happened Thursday and the girl's mother reported it to authorities Sunday, Acworth police Capt. Wayne Dennard said.
"The juvenile victim stated that an 8-year-old boy and two 9-year-old boys that she had been playing with earlier pulled her into a wooded area, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard said.
The three boys were charged with rape, kidnapping, false imprisonment and sexual assault, Dennard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Their names were being withheld because of their age.
Acworth is 28 miles north of Atlanta in the city's fast-growing outer suburbs.

shoot the little bastards before their violence escalates into something worse. young abusers get worse with age, can you image what they'll be like in their teens? just get rid of them now, and take a close look at the household they were raised in. there might be some serious problems there as well. trust me, victims of sex crimes, DO NOT ever heal completely. she's going to be messed up and haunted for the rest of her life. those boys should forfeit theirs to do something so cruel.
